No. I don't know what it looks like. I donated already so it's turned off for me.

Hey SpPANDA,

Don't worry. The ads will be removed eventually. They will be removed when one of following occurr:

1) The Donut is paid for the year.

or

2) You make a pledge to the site.

So, you can either depend on everyone else to clear up the ad for you or you can take the effort to clear them up yourself. ^_^

Hey,

Actually, the rate at which people pledge and donate more than doubled when I put the ads up. Seems that some people weren't reading the forum and/or member main page and just going strait to the search/download section. All the people who have donated so far have expressed their gratitude for the site and what it is doing to make things better.

I understand why you're doing the popup, Phade, but it caused me one problem I'm not sure you anticipated. I tried to download my vid at a friend's house to show it to them, and when I clicked proceed, it attempted to stream the video.

It would be better to have "proceed" simply close the window, IMO, as it may cause trouble for some members with their hosts if too many people just ignorantly stream videos.

For now, I'm changing my linking to indirect, to avoid any problems.

Hey FurryCurry,

The "proceed" is the same link type as the original link. If it is a direct link and you don't do a "right-click->save as..." then the video will start to stream just as if you had click the direct link normally.

Yeah, I figured that out after investigating a little. :?

Still it did throw me off a bit the first time I ran into that.

gah, I need to improve my HTML/scripting skills, but when will I find the time... :(

Problem - if the donation link comes up while you're searching and you hit "proceed", it kicks you back to a blank Supersearch.php, completely invalidating whatever search you were in the middle of. This is getting annoying.

Hey ShaleZero,

Links to videos should not come up in the serarch section. They should only appear in the video information section.

The "ad" in the search has a 1-in-3 probability of coming up. If the search gets messed up, you can do the search again and hope that the ad doesn't come up again.

Or, better yet, you could donate $1 or two to the Donut and not have to worry about it ever again. :-D (or just wait until the Donut project is done and the ad is no longer needed)
